Ivan's Pre-combine/Pro-day Draft.


Ivan The Awesome

Recommended Posts

The situation here is that we'd trade our 8/9 pick to the Bengals for the rights to Trent Richardson or a high quality Offensive linemen (David Decastro) for their, what seems to be, Franchise QB Mr. Dalton. We'd give them our pick and we'd get their two first picks. #17 and #21. In theory that would be enough, I don't know if they'd have to give us a little more? Not sure about the point system, I should have looked at that before doing this draft but I felt kinda lazy. HAH! But here it goes.

1st-#17 Pick: Whitney Mercilus, DE/OLB, Illinois

1st-#21 Pick: Jerel Worthy, DT, Michigan

2nd: Markelle Martin, S, OSU

4th: Chris Rainey, WR/RB/KR/PR, Florida

5th: Cliff Harris, CB/PR, Oregon

6th: Dominique Davis, QB, East Carolina

7th: Drew Butler, P, Georgia

No fancy pictures, sorry mates.

I'd love the trade, but not a fan of Mercilus; he seems like a bit of a tweener to me but I'll admit to not knowing to much about him. I do know his size is comparable to LB C Upshaw.

Mercilus:

Height / Weight:

6-4 / 265

Courtney:

Height / Weight:

6-2 / 265

The reason behind the Mercilus pick is that he's an OLB and DE, Rotation with the Kraken, Johnson, Applewhite (hope he stays), would be the Idea. Or he could stay at the OLB spot, we need one anyway.

When I decided to go DE/OLB Instead of DT first, I was thinking of that Pass Rush need. I have another draft with the same trade back scenario except I'd take Devon Still with the #17 pick, and then Chase minnifield with the 21st pick, everything else is the same though.

    • Well, the whole rationale used  for the high IQ point guard is it would allow us to spend our resources elsewhere….instead it’s all our first rounders ever since to support the bad pick.  Reality is our front office is just bad.  If you wanted Bryce Young you were going to need to do something unique and special for him.  Instead we just insert a QB with traditional tools into old NFL concepts that pair with traditional talent and our pass game is whack
    • Good to see some other folks are speaking the same language on this. It's simple common sense. But it seems like there's a disconnect due to the misplaced value the team has put on Thielen because he was the only vaguely good veteran WR willing to sign with the Panthers after we traded away DJ Moore. That time has come and gone. We have two first round WR's on the roster now.
    • Yeah I’m turning this into a Bryce can’t play QB thread. Just stating that offense was a poo show two years ago. No QB is succeeding in that, much less a rookie. I feel like it’s become a common debate strategy on here to just jump down the rabbit hole of saying he is just bad in so many ways when any certain point gets countered. If that doesn’t work we can deflect to how poorly this team has been ran. In regards to the actual point we are debating, the OL was struggling, half of the skill players aren’t on a roster, Mingo has done nothing with his new team and the staff are either not coaching or on their 3rd team in 3 years, aside from McCown (I liked McCown too). Honestly about as bad as it gets. No need to try to state how good of an offense it was billed it because that has been proven false at this point.
